and

Fig. '3 1s a side view.

My improved hair holder comprises two" loops 5-(3, that overlap eachother, as shown in Fig. 1, the inner sides 7-8 of each of said loopsforming one side of a hair receiving opening 9 of variable size. Theloops 5 and 6 are joined on the same side of each loop, the diameters10-11 of each loop starting from this point of union being located at anangle each to' the other, andas indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 1. hisconstruction enables the loops to be closed together to enlarge the sizeof the opening 9, as illustrated in dotted lines in Fig. 1, it beingpossible to enlarge this opening to the size of the openings through theloops, which loops are preferably of the same size.

My improved hair holder is preferably composed of wire having anysuitable covto the class of de Fig. 2 is an end or edge view of thesame,

" eringas a fine thread, and it may be formed from a single 131606 ofwire, or otherwise,

as may be preferred. When composed of a single piece of wire the holderis formed by bending such wire of a certain length into the loop form,as shown in Fig. 1, the

opposite ends of this piece ofwire being wrapped around and secured. tothe sides of both loops at the central part 12 of the structure, atwhich point the two loops are ]01I1e(l. In forming the structure theends of the Wireare bent, commencing at the center ofthe strand inopposite directions, the

ends being eXtended tow-ard each other, said endsbeing passed backwardlyto form the loops and then being secured as above described.

In accordance with the provisions of the patent statutes I havedescribed the princlples of operation of'my invention, together with thedevice which I now consider to represent the best embodiment thereof;but I desire to have it understood that the device shown is' onlyillustrative,

and that the invention may be carried out by other means.
